I'm assuming SBC's 'All singing, all dancing' CCTV system has the assailants entering/exiting the area?
Surely this isnt a 'known' blackspot being slap bang in the middle of town?

Dreadful treatment of a vulnerable person. Lock them up and throw away the key.

Agreed. 3 pieces of vermin from the cesspool of life, getting their cheap thrill at the expense of someone who's already vulnerable enough. I hope that they are caught and sent down, a record of what they did. The stocks would've been to good for them! Hope he can make a good recovery.
